Yeah man. They were definitely more concerned with Notre Dame than Alabama.

Did he or I say that?

They almost certainly did what all four teams did: spend the first three weeks on a mini training camp, spend a week on opponent-specific prep, use their army of analysts to prep both potential second round opponents, and go from there. You don’t get to where Dabo has by not taking it one step at a time.

So what was wrong about the OP?

The statement that the team spent one week on Notre Dame and four weeks on Alabama specific prep. That’s laughable. A subset of analysts, maybe. The main coaching staff? No. The players? Certainly not.

If Alabama spent that entire time working on Oklahoma’s defense then that’s just dumb

Agreed. That would seem to be the most likely answer.

Why would they prepare for ND at all?

Everyone knew that would be a rout except for a few on the MSB.

That was the sucky thing about the playoffs this year from Bama's perspective. They actually had the more difficult task/preparation in the semi-finals than Clemson had. I'm sure Bama spent most of their time working on Oklahoma stuff.


No one feels bad for you considering you guys skip conference championship week every other title shot.

Holy shite that crazy old frick who called into finebaum saying maybe if Bama could’ve played Notre Dame they would’ve had more time to prepare was right.

I said this a couple days ago on the Bama board. Dabo popped in a ND tape and watched half of it and said, "we good" and moved on to Bama.

Except that would be wrong. Real connected sources like current Clemson football players have already called out Cole's statement as nonsense.

You're dealing with SEC fans.

Most of them are this stupid.

Yeah Bama had the #1 seed but got fricked by the draw. We should have been playing ND instead of Clemson. Everyone knew ND was a sleepwalk game


Not sure if serious. Bama played Mich St and Washington in 2 separate years in round 1. Quit being a pussy

Yea, ND’s defense was pretty obviously a stiffer test than Alabama’s, especially with a healthy Love. Clemson and Dabo knew that.
